With UDI we transfer the products to the OR, then if not used the OR transfers them back to the BB. In Soft we selected the products to a patient, then issued them to the OR. Maybe you can just transfer them to the OR without selecting them. That would eliminate a step.
The OR purchased UDI to help them track other tissues, not just human, and other not tissue implants. It seems to be a win win situation for everyone. The company is very cooperative, takes care of building the products, etc. They also keep track of all the licenses of the tissue companies.
